Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 44 Dedicate oneself to art

After finishing their business, Link and Monica continued filming.

Empty, empty, empty~~~~
On the 13th night, the heroine was awakened by the noise downstairs and sat up from the bed.

"what happened?"

"I thought I heard some noise."

"What, what did you hear?"

“Bang.”

"Bang? Where's that sound?"

"It seems to be downstairs."

The two of them sat up from the bed and listened carefully outside to see if there was any movement.

The room was silent for five or six seconds.

Roar!
Suddenly, a roar similar to that of a demon came from the living room downstairs, followed by a bang, and the whole house seemed to shake.

The hero and heroine screamed in fright.

When shooting this scene, in order to achieve a thriller effect, the roaring sound and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground were enhanced in post-production to make the roar more thrilling and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground more thrilling.

"Cut! Do it again. The thriller we just showed was not enough."

"All right!"

"Chris, do it again."

Link instructed as he picked up the intercom.

The second shot was much better.

"Link, I think the scariest part of the script is this. If I don't close the door when I go to bed at night, I won't dare to sleep even if there are no ghosts."

Monica said, pointing to the open door.

“The protagonist must capture the movements outside the house and cannot close the door. In addition, the camera lens is aimed at the dark corridor outside the door. When watching, the audience will always stare at the dark door, watching for any changes at the door, and remain alert at all times. This design will give the audience a strong sense of involvement and uneasiness.”

"I understand. I just want to say that your design is great. This movie will definitely be great."

Monica hugged his arms and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

Link and Monica got up from the bed and took the camera to film the scene downstairs.

After hearing strange noises downstairs, the hero and heroine went downstairs. In the dark light, the chandelier in the living room was shaking back and forth.

"Chris, shake it less and don't make any noise. Pull the curtains first to prevent the sunlight from coming in."

"All right!"

After Chris made adjustments, Link and Monica went downstairs again to shoot.

"Shit! Those paparazzi are useless. They still haven't found the location where Link took the photo."

Robert Downey Jr. said this while smoking a marijuana at the Viper House bar in Hollywood.

"That's normal. When Link was filming Buried, I heard that the filming location was in his apartment. The new movie is also a small production, maybe there are only a few actors, and the filming location is also at home, so it's not easy for paparazzi to find him."

Kiefer Sutherland was leaning back on a couch with a scantily clad stripper in his arms.

Kiefer Sutherland is 27 years old and is the child of famous Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland and his second wife.

His father, Donald Sutherland, made his debut in the 60s and has filmed hundreds of film and television works. His most famous works in China are "Dr. Bethune", "JFK", and "Big Shot" directed by Feng Xiaogang, in which he played the protagonist at the funeral.

Kiefer Sutherland made his debut in his teens and, relying on his parents' connections in Hollywood, has played leading and important supporting roles in more than 30 films.

Including the TV series "Amazing Stories Season 1969" directed by Spielberg, the romantic crime film "Robber Dad" co-starring with Sean Penn and Christopher Walken, the adventure film "Stand By Me" co-starring with River Phoenix and Wil Wheaton, and the war film "" co-starring with Robert Downey Jr. and Winona Ryder, etc. The resources are very good.

This year, he co-starred with big stars such as Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in the suspense crime film "The Last Victory", playing the third male lead.

Although he is not as famous as Robert Downey Jr., he is also one of the top ten stars among the younger generation of Hollywood actors. His girlfriend is Julia Roberts, who became famous two years ago with "Pretty Woman".

The two are also considered one of the most popular celebrity couples in Hollywood, and there are gossips about them in entertainment newspapers every day.

Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Downey Jr. knew each other for a long time.

Kiefer Sutherland and his ex-wife's daughter, who collaborated on the 1988 film "1969", is named Sarah Judy. "Sarah" was taken from the name of Robert Downey Jr.'s ex-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker.

The two have always had a good relationship.

"Damn it, I really don't understand how that bastard, a mere extra, could make a movie. And how could a movie like Buried Alive sell tens of millions of tickets? The audiences nowadays are so low class."

Robert Downey Jr. said unhappily.

"Then he is lucky, he encountered a boom in the film market, just like Gerard Damiano's "Deep Throat", Spielberg's "Jaws", Stallone's "Rocky". When the boom disappears, he will become a small role again."

"I hope you're right."

"Don't worry, no one can be lucky all the time. This movie is a small production, and there are no big stars. The box office performance is bound to be low. We can wait and see if his movie fails miserably after it is released."

Kiefer Sutherland patted his friend on the shoulder.

After the huge success of "Buried", Robert Downey Jr.'s mood became worse and worse.

Although "Chaplin" has a good reputation, its box office performance is not ideal. "Buried" has exceeded 6000 million US dollars in the global box office this week. "Chaplin" currently has a global box office of only 1402 million US dollars, and it has not even recovered the investment cost.

This made Robert Downey Jr. very unhappy.

Kiefer Sutherland was unhappy too.

The reason for his unhappiness was that when "Chaplin" was released, he and many stars under the CAA agency helped promote the film, publicly praised "Chaplin" and said many flattering words, and the media was full of news about them helping to promote the film.

It was originally thought that with the influence of these people, and with their help in promoting the film, the box office performance of "Chaplin" would easily crush that crappy movie "Buried" which only cost $2 to make.

result.

Whether in North American box office or overseas box office, "Chaplin" was completely crushed by "Buried".

Against this backdrop, these big stars all became defeated opponents of "Buried Alive" and a group of clowns.

What makes them even more angry is...

If they team up and are defeated by top stars like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and Schwarzenegger, they will lose without any complaints.

But this time, everyone joined forces, but was defeated by a little-known Chinese director.

Everyone knows that the quality of Chinese films is very poor. There are neither top directors nor many films exported.

How powerful can Link be?
It would be a great shame to lose to such a person.

Jingle Bell!
Robert Downey Jr.'s phone rang. He picked it up and listened for a moment. After hanging up, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"what happened?"

"The latest news is that Link is selecting the male lead for his new movie."

"Hasn't his movie started shooting yet? Why is he only looking for a male lead now?"

"Humph, he's a new director from the slums, and the crew is probably a makeshift team. It's understandable that they'll find the male lead after filming begins."

"Haha, yes, he is messing around. If he makes a movie like this, I bet it will be a bad movie."

"Don't bet on a director of his caliber making any good movies."

After a while, the two of them were smoking special cigarettes and laughing loudly in the booth, with snot and tears coming out.
